Solution

The correct option is B Radicle
  • During the process of seed germination, the radicle is the first part that emerges from the seed.
  • It grows downwards toward the soil and forms the root of the seedling/plant.
  • Due to the formation of roots, now seedling become anchored in the ground and can start absorbing water.
  • Only after the root absorbs water, an embryonic shoot emerges from the plumule of the embryo of the seed.
Thus, the correct answer is option B
